in mcateer 1's mind we want to be a great team that can finish. those are the expectations and there is a lot of things in between mr. fast and you wain more than you lose. this is a tribute to art modell. there is a black circle outlined in white. the ravens and players continue to pay tribute as thousands of fans turned out to say goodbye to the man who brought football and the superbowl bet to baltimore. this is a chance to not only say goodbye to art modell but to say hello to the future. >> it is an emotional to lose somebody, the only reason i am in baltimore is because of him. any time you can leave a legacy like that, we should not mourn. we should be celebrating him because he is one of the most awesome and i have met in my life. >> art modell very much on the minds of players and fans as they make their way to the 2012 season tonight. this is the night we will see enormous emotional swings. we saw one as michael phelps made his way out of the field and the fans erupted in cheers. the ravens kick off the 2012 season and it will do it at 7
